After
Christmas, I treat myself to some more of the Wilko bath and shower range after
liking everything I had bought so far. One product I bought was the Wilko Sweet
Shower Smoothie Vanilla & Honey.
This shower
smoothie comes in a squeezy tube made from a thin plastic. Some of the tube is
clear while most of it is covered with a brown printed on label. The label has
on it the Wilko logo, name of the product, ‘sweet’ in large lettering down the
right hand side as well as a picture of honey and vanilla. At the bottom of the
tube, there is a large black flip top cap which is where the product inside
comes out of. Unfortunately, like other products in this range, I find the cap
at the bottom quite hard to open, especially with wet hands in the shower.
After opening for the first time, I tend to now leave these caps slightly open
and don’t click them closed anymore. I wish the caps were a bit softer in their
opening because it does hurt my fingers sometimes.
Although the
packaging does warn this this is a ‘sweet’ product, I don’t think I was quite
ready for just how sweet the scent is. When I first poured some of the smoothie
onto my shower puff, the scent of the vanilla mixed with honey hit me
immediately. The scent only got even sweeter as I mixed the smoothie with hot
water. While I normally love anything with vanilla in it, this smoothie was
just far too sweet for me and I actually can’t stand the smell of it. Even
though this is a smoothie, a mixture of shower gel and a shower scrub, it still
lathers up well on the shower puff. The smoothie does feel really good on my
skin and because of the small scrubby bits, my skin feels smoother and buffed
after using this.
As this is a
Wilko product, it can only be found in stores or online. At the minute, these
are on offer 2 for £1.50 or £1 each, which is why I stocked up on them. Even
though the price is really good, I just can’t get over how sweet the smell of
this shower smoothie is so I won’t be buying it again.
Aww what a shame, as such a bargain! But always worth a try when the price is so low! :)
